LOS ANGELES, CA. (THECOUNT) — A Los Angeles firefighter is under investigation after he was accused of dropping his pants and wiping his “buttocks” with a written order calling for his compliance with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The Los Angeles Fire Department is “aware of an incident where a member responded inappropriately to a hand-delivered letter to comply” with the mandate, LAPD spokesperson Cheryl Getuiza told the Times Wednesday. The incident allegedly occurred on Nov. 18, reports Huffpo.
